RMAI Update March 2023

After an unusual start, we are beginning to see activity on Capitol Hill.  On Thursday, March 9, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Monetary Policy convened a hearing entitled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: Ripe for Reform. The hearing largely followed party lines, with Republicans advocating for reforms that would make the CFPB subject to the annual congressional appropriations process and have a bipartisan 5-member leadership structure. Conversely, Democratic Members largely applauded the work of the CFPB in improving the lives of American consumers, protecting consumers from fraud and abuse, and promoting competition and transparency in the economy.

Additionally, at the end of February, the House Financial Services Committee approved Chair Patrick McHenry’s financial data privacy bill in a vote along party lines.  The legislation is the culmination of three years of work, which proposes to revamp financial privacy protections for consumers and have them preempt state law, in an attempt to create a uniform federal standard.

On the regulatory front, RMAI continues the drafting of comments for the CFPB proposed rule to form a registry of non-bank entities. Comments are due on March 31st. RMAI will also submit limited comments for the 2023 CARD Act report. Comments are due on April 3rd.

RMAI is in the process of planning the educational sessions for the Executive Summit. Invitations to staff at the CFPB and FTC have been extended for the always-informative Federal Regulators Panel.

RMAI monitors, tracks, and responds to legislative and regulatory activity in all 50 states as the need arises.  Backed by RMAI’s State Legislative Committee and a team of state lobbyists, RMAI educates legislators and regulators about the industry and the negative impacts or unintended consequences a bill would have on businesses and consumers. If you have an interest in volunteering in RMAI’s grassroots advocacy efforts, please contact RMAI General Counsel David Reid at (916) 779-2492 or [email protected]. The following bills of concern are a sample of the legislation that RMAI is currently engaging on behalf of the industry:

Colorado HB 1126 – This bill would prohibit consumer reporting agencies from including information related to a medical debt on a consumer report. The bill defines “medical debt” as “debt arising from health-care services . . . or health-care goods, including products, devices, durable medical equipment, and prescription medications.” This is a very expansive definition which would include medical debt charged on a credit card, including a bottle of Tylenol purchased from a grocery store. [RMAI is strongly opposed to this bill and is working with our Colorado lobbyist and other industry trade associations to get an exemption for credit card debt. If this bill is passed, without an exemption, we expect consumer reporting agencies will likely stop reporting all credit card debt in Colorado due to the difficulty in identifying the debt.]

Florida HB 113 – This bill would provide relief from collection activities to victims of elder abuse and human trafficking, provided that documented economic abuse is attested to in a police report that shows the connection to the perpetrator. [This issue is becoming more prominent at the state legislative level. Currently, only California and Maine have laws of this nature, but a number of states are looking to follow suit. RMAI believes this bill could be a “model” for future bills as it includes reasonable safeguards to prevent mere statements of abuse from qualifying for the protection.]

Georgia HB 187 – This bill would allow for-profit credit repair agencies to operate in the State of Georgia if they: (1) obtain a bond in the amount of $50,000; (2) provide a written contract to the buyer of services, setting out the services it provides and the amount that will be due each month for such services; (3) provide an information statement informing the buyer of the buyer’s right to challenge and dispute items on a credit report on the buyer’s own and stating that the credit repair services organization will only challenge or dispute items that the buyer affirms are either unfair, inaccurate, or unsubstantiated; and (4) provide the right to cancel services at any time. [RMAI opposes this bill as it does not afford meaningful consumer protections against credit repair abuse.]

Illinois HB 2377 – This bill, among other things, would: (1) increase the homestead exemption from $15,000 to $260,000; (2) increase the auto exemption from $2,400 to $25,000; (3) increase certain personal property exemptions; and (4) limit the amount of wages that can be applied through garnishment to the lesser of 10% of gross weekly wages or the amount by which disposable earnings for a week exceed the total of 80 times (current law is 45 times) the state minimum hourly wage. [RMAI is working with the industry in opposition to this bill. While RMAI acknowledges the auto, personal property, and homestead exemptions could be updated, many of the new thresholds proposed in the bill are overly high. Additionally, the current wage garnishment exemption of 45 times minimum wage is already higher than all but two states.]

Kentucky HB 83 – This bill would reduce the enforceability of a money judgment to 10 years with no renewals. [RMAI is opposed to this legislation but does not anticipate the bill gaining traction; however, RMAI will closely monitor. Currently, actions on judgments must be commenced within 15 years from the date of the last execution and can be extended by filing a lien or garnishment.]

Maryland HB 127 – This bill would prohibit a district court in aiding in the enforcement or execution of a small claims money judgment by ordering an individual to appear for an examination or answer interrogatories. [RMAI, the creditor’s bar, and the judiciary oppose this bill. A similar bill passed in 2022 but was vetoed by the former governor. A veto this year would be less likely.]

Nevada AB 223 – This bill would require debt collectors to provide a payoff letter within 10-days of a consumer request. The bill also provides for a private right of action for failure to provide a payoff letter in the required time. [RMAI is seeking amendments through our lobbyist to provide additional time to send the letter, to detail how a request must be made, and to provide a safe harbor for reasonable attempts to comply.]

New York AB 1035 – This bill would prohibit debt collectors from communicating with consumers through the use of email, text messaging, or private communication tools offered by social media companies. [RMAI is strongly opposed to this bill and has the resources of RMAI’s New York lobbyist to help ensure that the bill is not considered.]

New York SB 171 – This bill would create a private right of action against originating creditors and debt collectors for a violation of the Debt Collection Procedures Act. Currently only the attorney general or a county district attorney can bring an action to restrain or prevent any violation of the article. A consumer could seek actual damages, punitive damages awarded by the court, and reasonable attorney’s fees. [RMAI will be advocating for amendments to this bill that would create a “right to cure” opportunity before suit can be filed. RMAI has a registered New York lobbyist.]

New York SB 4750 – This bill would expand the scope of the 2021 Consumer Credit Fairness Act (CCFA) by replacing the term “consumer credit transaction” with “consumer debt” and thereby bringing debt such as medical and utility under the scope of the CCFA’s litigation requirements. [This bill could potentially solve a problem contained in the proposed debt collection rule developed by the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS). DFS is struggling with how to develop an appropriate consumer notice since the CCFA does not apply to all forms of consumer debt. However, the bill will need to be amended to exempt judgments from the bill’s scope.]

New York SB 5010 – This bill would expunge all debt associated with consumer credit transactions at the expiration of the statute of limitations. [RMAI is strongly opposed to this bill and has the resources of RMAI’s New York lobbyist to help ensure that the bill is not considered.]

Oregon HB 2008 – This bill, among other things, would: (1) increase the auto exemption from $3,000 to $15,000; (2) increase various personal household property exemptions; (3) increase the homestead exemption from $40,000 to the median housing price for single-family dwellings in the county in which the homestead is located; and (4) protect approximately $52,000 in wages from garnishment. The bill would also authorize the award of punitive damages as part of a private right of action. [RMAI, while acknowledging some of the exemption thresholds could be increased, is strongly opposed to this bill as it is currently drafted. RMAI will be working with an industry coalition to seek amendments.]

Washington SB 5173 – This bill would update the state property exemption provisions. The most notable changes include: (1) increasing the auto exemption from $6,500 to $15,000; (2) increasing the tools of the trade exemption from $10,000 to $15,000; (3) an across the board doubling of the exemption amount for married couples; and (4) adding a cost-of-living adjustment. [RMAI is working with an industry coalition to fight this legislation based on recent adjustments to this section of law during the pandemic.]

Wyoming HB 284 – This bill was enacted into law on February 27^th. The law will require debt buyers to be licensed as collection agencies as of July 1, 2023. The law contains a provision stating the act will not affect the validity of any civil action or arbitration filed or commenced by a debt buyer, or any judgment entered for a debt buyer before July 1, 2023. [This bill was introduced at the request of RMAI to address an emerging debate as to whether debt buyers should have been licensed under existing law despite the state licensing board issuing exemptions for over 20 years.]

Sixth Circuit Holds Continuing Violation Doctrine Inapplicable to Alleged FDCPA Violation Occurring During Litigation
Bouye v. Bruce, No. 21-6195/22-5016, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 4979 (6th Cir. Mar. 1, 2023)

A consumer financed a furniture purchase through a retail installment contract (“RIC”). The RIC was sold to a financing company and the consumer subsequently defaulted.  The financing company, through its attorney, sued in state court to recover the debt and attorney’s fees.  Ultimately, due to evidentiary issues, the financing company voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit.

Over a year after the financing company filed its lawsuit in state court, the consumer sued the financing company’s attorney in federal court claiming the attorney violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) by altering the RIC during the state court litigation to make it appear that the assignment to the financing company was proper. The attorney filed a motion to dismiss, arguing the action was “barred by the FDCPA’s one-year statute of limitations or by Rooker-Feldman and collateral estoppel.”  The trial court granted the motion and the consumer appealed.

Addressing the statute of limitations question, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit noted that while the consumer argued the violation occurred when the RIC was modified, which was less than a year prior to the filing of the FDCPA lawsuit, the attorney argued any alleged violation would have been “just a continuing violation of [the finance company’s] initial filing of the lawsuit, and that “the statute of limitations began running when [the finance company] filed the state-court complaint.”

The Court disagreed with the attorney’s “continuing violation” argument:

The continuing-violation doctrine doesn’t have anything to do with this case, though, because [the consumer] never invoked it. And it makes sense that she didn’t. The whole benefit of the continuing-violation doctrine is that it allows a plaintiff to sweep in a series of component acts that comprise a claim, if one of those acts was within the limitations period. But [the consumer] isn’t trying to sweep in acts that would otherwise be outside of the filing period. She is seeking redress for a single claim that is not time-barred – [the attorney’s] filing of the second, allegedly false RIC in the state lawsuit on [the finance company’s] behalf.

Thus, the Court reversed the trial court’s dismissal and remanded the matter.

Fourth Circuit Finds Lack of Standing for Alleged Violation of State Identity Theft Act
O’Leary v. TrustedID, Inc., No. 21-2144, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 3968 (4th Cir. Feb. 21, 2023)

Following the Equifax data breach, Equifax used a subsidiary’s website as a platform for consumers to use to determine whether they had been affected by the breach.  A consumer went to the website and was required to enter six digits of his Social Security number (“SSN”).  No other security features were in place.  Allegedly, the partial SSN was then conveyed to Equifax.

The consumer then filed a lawsuit in state court against the subsidiary alleging a violation of South Carolina’s common-law right to privacy, and S.C. Code Ann. § 37-20-180(A)(4) which prohibits “require[ing] a consumer to use his social security number or a portion of it containing six digits or more to access an Internet web site, unless a password or unique personal identification number or other authentication device is also required to access the Internet web site.”

The subsidiary removed the case to federal court and moved to dismiss, and the consumer brought a challenge to his own Article III standing.  The trial court determined that the consumer had sufficiently alleged Article III standing but granted the subsidiary’s motion to dismiss as the consumer “had not plausibly stated a claim under the Act or under common-law principles of privacy or negligence.”

On appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, the consumer “again note[d] his  ‘concerns as to whether the [statutory] violation in this case constitutes a concrete injury in fact for Article III standing,’” but nevertheless asked the Court to affirm the trial court’s holding on the issue and reverse the dismissal of the statutory claim.

On the issue of standing, the Court examined similar claims involving the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (“FACTA”) which in part provides: “Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, no person that accepts credit cards or debit cards for the transaction of business shall print more than the last 5 digits of the card number or the expiration date upon any receipt provided to the cardholder at the point of the sale or transaction.” 15 U.S.C. § 1681c.

The Court located only one appellate court decision in which standing was found for a FACTA violation with the others “show[ing] that a FACTA digit-truncation violation isn’t a concrete injury unless it creates a nonspeculative risk of identity theft.”

The Court also examined data breach cases and noted that “being subjected to a data breach isn’t in and of itself sufficient to establish Article III standing without a nonspeculative, increased risk of identity theft.”

In this case, the Court found the consumer couldn’t “connect the alleged statutory violation to an increased risk of identity theft without a Rube Goldberg-type chain reaction.”

For example, crediting his allegation “on information and belief” that TrustedID shared his six SSN digits with Equifax, there would have to be another Equifax data breach, that breach would have to compromise [the consumer’s] partial SSN, and an identity thief would then have to misappropriate that information to harm [the consumer] (presumably by first figuring out the rest of his SSN). That’s the kind of daisy chain of speculation that can’t pass muster under Article III.

Furthermore, the consumer failed to “allege[] an injury with a ‘close relationship’ to a traditional or common-law analog.”  The Court explained that “intrusion upon seclusion” was not a close analogy because the consumer chose to provide his SSN.  The consumer failed to argue any relationship to the “traditional analog” of “disclosure of private information.”

The Court “therefore vacate[d] the district court’s judgment and remand[ed] with instructions to remand this case to state court, where it originated.”

Eighth Circuit Holds Allegedly Inaccurate Interest Disclosure Does Not Confer Standing
Bassett v. Credit Bureau Servs., Nos. 21-2864, 22-1206, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 4428 (8th Cir. Feb. 24, 2023)

A consumer received a letter seeking payment for medical bills.  The letter didn’t distinguish between interest or principal in the amount owed and stated, “interest and other charges may accrue daily.”  The consumer brought a class action alleging violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Nebraska Consumer Practices Act.

The debt collector filed a motion for summary judgment, based on a lack of Article III standing, which the trial court denied.  Although the jury returned a verdict for the debt collector, the court determined it had provided inaccurate instructions to the jury and, on its own motion, ruled in favor of the consumer, specifically finding that Nebraska law did not authorize collection of prejudgment interest without a judgment.

On appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, the collectors argued that the consumer did not suffer concrete harm and therefor lacked Article III standing.

The Court explained that the consumer “only received the letter and never paid any part of the interest or principal. Without suffering a tangible harm, [the consumer] must point to an injury that has a ‘close relationship’ to a harm ‘traditionally’ recognized as providing a basis for a lawsuit in American courts.”  Here, the consumer chose fraudulent misrepresentation and conversion.

The Court, citing numerous decisions, noted that a claim for fraudulent misrepresentation must be supported by reliance on the misrepresentation, which the consumer failed to allege.  Thus, because “[the consumer] did not suffer a concrete injury in fact as a result of the alleged statutory violations, she lack[ed] Article III standing,” and the Court vacated the judgment of the trial court and remanded the matter.

Third Circuit Confirms Collectors Can Rely on Court Records
Lowe v. FBCS, Inc, No. 21-3307, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 609 (3d Cir. Jan. 11, 2023)

A debt collector brought a collection action against a consumer that resulted in contradictory orders from the state court.  On one hand, the clerk of court erroneously entered a default judgment against the consumer prior to trial, but on the other the court dismissed the action because the debt buyer failed to appear on the trial date.  Several years later, the court confirmed the default judgment and the debt collector began contacting the consumer to collect the debt.

The consumer filed suit in federal court alleging the debt collector violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) by trying to collect a debt it “’knew or should have known . . . was unenforceable’ and thus made a false representation in violation of the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692e(2)(A), (5), (10).”  The consumer also filed a motion with the state court to have the default judgment vacated and declared void from its inception.  That motion was ultimately granted.

In the FDCPA action, the trial court granted the debt collector’s motion for summary judgment, reasoning “that Defendants’ alleged efforts to collect the debt were not false or misleading because even though the default judgment is now considered invalid, the judgment nevertheless existed in 2019 when the alleged communications were made.”  The consumer appealed.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in a non-precedential opinion, first addressed the consumer’s argument that the trial court’s order violated the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because it “could not have reached the decision that it did without necessarily supplanting the Superior Court’s order vacating the judgment against her.”

However, the Court found that the consumer met none of the doctrine’s four requirements: “(1) the federal plaintiff lost in state court; (2) the plaintiff ‘complains of [*6] injuries caused by the state-court judgments’; (3) those judgments were rendered before the federal suit was filed; and (4) the plaintiff is inviting the district court to review and reject the state judgments.”

The consumer also argued that the federal trial court erred in holding that the erroneous default judgment was “in effect . . . until such time as it was vacated” since the state court ultimately declared it void from the beginning.  The Court disagreed, finding that the federal trial court correctly determined that the consumer failed to demonstrate a genuine issue for trial.  Since the default had not been vacated at the time of the collection communications, those communications “would not misrepresent the ‘legal status’ of the judgment, 15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)(A), or constitute a ‘threat to take any action that cannot legally be taken,’ id. § 1692e(5).”

Accordingly, the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the debt collector was affirmed.
